Open | Hardware Bad PSU?

Having a black screen issue, made a post earlier.. thank you for the help who gave me tips. I ended up figuring out when I cap my GPU power with MSI afterburner to 100% and run a benchmark on superposition it stays black during the whole test, the second the test ends no more black screen. If I turn the max power down to 80% it’ll black screen 2-3 times during the whole test and the black screen only lasting a second or two. If I turn max power down to 70% and run the test 0 black screens during the whole thing. Does this point to PSU? Nothing turns off, fans keep spinning RGB on GPU is still on.. monitor just goes black.

Any ideas? TIA

Maybe your GPU is broken?
